Yeah, I just painted a bunny. Wanna make something of it? Don't make me pound your fists into submission with my face.

This is actually a request from the wife. "Paint a bunny at night on the lawn with fireflies," she said. So, ever the dutiful husband, I did.

Since moving to Greensboro, we've had quite a few "we're not in Brooklyn anymore, Toto," moments. One of the was the demolition derby we went to last weekend. Another is taking the dog out for her last walk of the day and seeing the scene I just painted. It smells better here, too.

This is my first piece EVER painted with gouache. I like gouache, which I prefer to call gaocho. I enjoy the look I get at the art supply shop when I ask for gaocho paint. The wife, not so amused. Consider this aceo an act of diplomacy.
